Kanye West's Surprise Pre-Dawn Oculus Appearance Caught On Video

WORLD TRADE CENTER, NY — Kanye West was spotted at the Oculus in Lower Manhattan filming a special performance — shortly after delaying the release of his latest album "Jesus is King" Thursday night.

The rapper was seen walking inside the Oculus sometime after 3 a.m. Friday, with a production crew and security setting up while onlookers swarmed him taking photos and videos, many of which were posted on Twitter.

YEEZY MAFIA tweeted a photo about 11:30 p.m., writing only "WTC" and showing a crew setting up inside the massive all-white retail and transit center at the World Trade Center campus.

In a video posted on Twitter, you can hear West's choir filling the space with music and onlookers suggesting it was West's weekly secret performances Sunday Service being held at the World Trade Center transit hub for the "Jesus is King" release.

The long-anticipated album was expected to drop at midnight, according to an update posted on West's Twitter.

But hours later, he announced three songs needed to be fixed — and thanked fans for being "loyal & patient."

"We are not going to sleep until this album is out!" he wrote.
